7 golden rules of wine storage: Choosing materials for wine storage - Part 2 Metal, stone and plastic In our second part on choosing materials for wine racks, we turn our attention to metal, stone and plastic. Metal or steel: Steel is an incredibly versatile material that is very well suited as a material for wine racking. It is characterised above all by two very special properties: its very high strength and its extreme resilience. Another highlight is its almost unlimited mouldability. In contrast to wood, very little material is needed to support the wine bottles. This means that wine racks can be designed in which the rack construction remains discreetly in the background and the bottles stored inside are much easier to see. Metal shelves are characterised by their rather simple, minimalist and graceful style. However, this characteristic can be used to showcase a small number of wine bottles in a very elegant and expressive way. Single bottles in particular can be presented on a wall using a metal construction in such a way that the metal construction is barely visible. The bottle appears to float - a particularly elegant eye-catcher for magnum and double magnum bottles. Metal wine racks are protected from corrosion by a finely textured powder coating in a colour of your choice. This also opens up a great deal of scope for creating your very own and special presentation options. A particularly charming combination is that of metal and wood.

Properly racking wine in wine cabinets is essential for several reasons related to the preservation, aging, and quality of the wine. Enofrigo America has mutliple racking options for ideal wine storage. - Prevents Sediment Disturbance: For wines that age over time, sediment can form and settle at the bottom of the bottle. Proper racking prevents sediment from disturbing the wine when the bottle is opened. - Cork Moisture: Storing wine bottles on their sides keeps the cork in constant contact with the wine. This moisture prevents the cork from drying out and shrinking, which could allow air to seep into the bottle and spoil the wine. - Easy Access and Organization: An organized and well-displayed collection can enhance the overall experience of wine appreciation from customers. - Aesthetic Appeal: Organized racking makes it easier to access and identify bottles. This is especially important for display and selection purposes. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gwsyZKHc

Although we call this a wine storage drawer, it has a host of other uses making it a very versatile addition for a client's new kitchen which they may not have considered.. 💡Soft drinks and bottles of water which can’t fit into the fridge 💡Cocktail storage – spirits and mixers can be kept in the bottom section and accoutrements for making cocktails in the top drawer (corkscrew, spoons, mixers, umbrellas, small chopping board...) 💡Red wine storage – best kept at room temperature 💡White or Rose wine storage if you have stocked up before it needs chilling 💡Store oils and vinegars and other sauce bottles in this drawer, especially those taller tricky ones which don't fit in traditional cupboards Drawer shown: Laura Ashley Mottram range in Dusky Pink - Wine Drawer Cabinet https://lnkd.in/gG89n-9q #winedrawer #kitchenstorage #lauraashleykitchen #designtips

Thinking about a wine cellar but unsure if it’s right for you? Here’s a straightforward way to figure it out: 🤔 1. Are you passionate about wine and interested in aging it, or do you mostly drink it casually? 2. Do you have the space and budget for a large wine cellar, or would a smaller, more flexible wine storage option work better for you? 3. Are you looking for a way to store wine over the long term? A wine cellar is ideal for aging and preserving bottles. 4. Do you need a controlled environment to keep your wine at the right temperature and humidity? 5. Are you interested in adding a stylish and functional feature to your home? If you answered “yes” to most of these, a wine cellar might be a good fit. If you're still unsure, you might want to start with a smaller wine fridge or rack to see if it meets your needs before making a bigger investment. 🍾 🍾🍾 Food (or wine🍷) for thought! 👍 #WineCellar #WineStorage #HomeDesign #WineLovers #InteriorDesign #WineFridge #HomeImprovement #WineCollection #WineEnthusiast

Flour, water, yeast, and salt. That's all you need for the perfect pizza crust. Oh yes, of course: fire! Fire plays a pivotal role in crafting that flawless pizza base. Traditional wood-fired ovens are often the go-to choice for pizzaiolos because they deliver that intense, even heat. The fire in these ovens doesn't just heat the air inside but also warms the stone floor. This provides a direct, intense heat that quickly bakes the pizza base, creating that perfect balance between crispiness and softness. It's this fiery intensity that crisps up the edges of the crust while keeping the interior airy and tender. The exposure to high temperatures ensures the base cooks rapidly, allowing the toppings to achieve perfection without the crust becoming too hard. In short, the fire in the oven is crucial for achieving that perfect pizza crust, giving it the distinctive texture and flavor that sets pizza apart from other dishes. 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐫® Less fuss.

Introducing the wine glass of the future. 🍷 Say hello to the latest innovation from Melbourne-based Denver & Liely—a new wine glass that's been 8 years in the making. Designed with inspiration from jet engines, this hand-blown crystal masterpiece promises to give you the most controlled wine experience yet. With a unique multi-directional turbine 'hub', this glass aerates your wine as you swirl, mimicking the effects of decanting. There’s even an option to fine-tune the aeration: clockwise for a gentle touch, counterclockwise for a stronger boost—perfect for everything from bold reds to delicate whites. The result? 🍷 A glass that enhances your wine’s flavour and aroma. The design lets you control how much the wine is aerated, so you can get the most out of every pour. It’s perfect for bringing out the flavors of both young and aged wines. But be warned—this glass isn’t for bubbly! The aeration hub will flatten your Champagne bubbles in no time. What’s your take—does a wine glass really make a difference in the taste, or do you think it’s all about the wine itself? #WineInnovation #WineLovers #DenverAndLiely #WineGlass #AustralianDesign #WineExperience

FINE STRAINERS (also known as a Tea Strainer or Small Strainer) - A fine strainer is a small, usually stainless steel or silver, strainer with tiny holes or a perforated design. - It's used to strain small amounts of liquid, such as: - Straining a single serving of a cocktail into a glass. - Straining a small amount of syrup or liqueur into a drink. - Straining tea or coffee into a cup. - The fine strainer is typically small enough to fit over a single glass or cup, allowing for precise control over the amount of liquid being strained. HAWTHORNE STRAINER - A Hawthorne strainer is a larger strainer with a spring-loaded design and a perforated or slotted top. - It's used to strain larger amounts of liquid, such as: - Straining multiple servings of a cocktail into a pitcher or jug. - Straining ice and solids from a shaker into a glass. - Straining wine or beer into a decanter or glass. - The Hawthorne strainer is typically larger than a fine strainer and has a spring-loaded mechanism that allows it to fit snugly over a shaker or container, making it easy to strain liquids without spilling. Note: Both are essential tools for bartenders and mixologists to ensure smooth, sediment-free drinks and precise control over ingredients. kindly share your thought with me on this subject😊

GRAPHALLOY® 🍕 In the heart of Lino's Pizza & Italian Restaurant lies a piece of history - an 80-year-old oven that's more than just a cooking appliance; it's a cherished emblem of tradition and authenticity. Joe Battista, whose father, Mike (now 91), pioneered the restaurant back in the early 1970s, knows the value of preserving this iconic oven. "If we change that oven, people will think we changed our product," he remarks, emphasizing its integral role in the restaurant's identity. But with time comes wear, and the aging machinery occasionally falters, posing challenges for the dedicated team at Lino's. The oven's original manufacturer, Fauld's, is long gone, and spare parts are scarce, forcing them to seek inventive solutions. 🛠️ One recurring issue was bearings failure, threatening the very integrity of the beloved oven. "A bearing would become loose, and the oven would chew itself apart," Joe recalls. Their makeshift remedy of squirting graphite oil proved inadequate, prompting the quest for a more sustainable fix. Fortunately, Graphite Metallizing Corporation stepped in with a tailored solution, crafting bushings capable of withstanding the oven's scorching 500°F temperatures. Now, with self-lubricating bearings in place, the historic oven continues to spin tales of tradition and resilience. Check out the link below to uncover more about Graphite Metallizing Corporation's innovative approach to this timeless culinary relic! https://lnkd.in/eQ4C__kn #Graphalloy #PizzaPerseverance #OvenRevival #HeritageRestored 🍽️
